Top 3 Nightlife Attractions in Tahiti

Tahiti is synonymous with romance. The blue lagoons, the lazy sea lapping the white shores, the shady palm groves, the fragrance of tropical flowers, the aroma of seafood are the ideal recipe to melt the hearts of the most cynical people on Earth. Tahiti consists of the stuff all romantic dreams are made of. Yet all the images of Tahiti that come to mind are sunny beaches and sun-kissed forests.

Well, the sun sets in Tahiti and the tropical night brings with it cool breezes and a clear, starry sky without smoke or fog. Tahiti may not be urban, but Tahiti’s nightlife offers some unique attractions that not even the world’s most feminine subways can offer. Here are 3 top Tahitian nightlife attractions.

Tahitian dance:

Watching or participating in Tahitian dancing is one of the main attractions of Tahiti. Tahitian dance is sensual and wild and retains a flavor of ancient traditional Tahitian culture that has almost been lost. Most resorts offer weekly dance performances, which also include traditional Tahitian parties. These dance shows are enchanting experiences that you should never miss.

Bars, Clubs and Pubs:

Tahiti has many bars, clubs and pubs. Most nightclubs will have an entrance fee of around $10. Many of these are clustered on the waterfront road near the main pier in Papeete and in Papeete del Este near Club Paradise. There are also strip clubs. The restaurant at Hotel Le Royal Tahitien in Pirae offers fine dining along with live bands for dancing on Friday nights.

Everywhere you will find a mixed crowd of Tahitians and foreign tourists from all over the world. Some of the popular bars are Le Mana Rock Café, L’Ibiza, Le 106 and Le Paradise. The Piano Bar is popular with gay tourists.

Shopping:

Reserving all sightseeing for the day, you can shop to your heart’s content at night in Papeete’s many shops and boutiques. You can buy handicrafts, shell jewelry, pearls, vanilla beans, French cheese and French perfumes.
